History

Formed in 2011 when Salter and Dalton joined Chapman's existing solo project The Mighty Northumberland,[2] the band released its debut album Whine of the Mystic independently in 2014.[1] The album was rereleased in 2015 on You've Changed Records in Canada and Paradise of Bachelors in the United States.[1]

The band's second album, Thought Rock Fish Scale, with songs delivered in a slow, psychedelic and meditative style,[3] was released in 2016 on both labels.[4] The album was supported by a concert tour of dates in both Canada and the United States,[5] an appearance on CBC Radio's Q[5] and a follow-up tour of select dates in Europe.[6] In June 2016, the album was named to the longlist for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize.[6]

Nap Eyes' third album, I'm Bad Now, was released in 2018.[7] The songs showed the band's move to a more uptempo style.[3] Fourth album, Snapshot of a Beginner, was released on March 27, 2020, preceded by the single Mark Zuckerberg.[8]
